Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) Partnerships with Community Based Organizations (CBOs). (Short Title: MSI/CBO).: The purpose of this program is to prevent and reduce substance abuse (SA) and transmission of HIV/AIDS among African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian American/Pacific Islander (AA/PI), and American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) young adult (ages 18-24) populations. CSAP expects MSIs to partner with one or more community-based organization(s) (CBO) to provide integrated SA, Hepatitis-C (HCV), and HIV prevention programs to African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian American/Pacific Islander (AA/PI) and American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) young adults (ages 18-24) in the surrounding communities. Applicants are required to base their projects on the five steps of SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). During the implementation phase, MSIs are expected to work with their collaborating CBOs to conduct the following tasks: • Conduct focus groups to identify high risk populations on the MSI campus and in the affected community(ies); • Implement evidence based substance abuse/HIV prevention and environmental prevention strategies to change community norms; • Provide outreach that includes prevention education strategies to reach racial/ethnic minority young adults on MSI campuses and in the surrounding communities; • Implement required strategies for HIV testing and referral services.

Additional Information on Eligibility
SAMHSA is limiting eligibility to MSIs (i.e., HBCUs, HSIs, AANAPISIs and TCUs) because the purpose of the MSI CBO grant program is to prevent and reduce SA, HIV/AIDS and HCV among minority at-risk populations. Data have shown that young adults from minority populations represent the majority of new HIV/HCV infections. AANAPISIs were not included as eligible applicants in the FY 2013 RFA, because there was no means of identifying eligible institutions. SAMHSA has included these institutions as eligible applicants in this RFA because there is now a list of AANAPSI institutions designated by the Department of Education at a website included in the RFA. MSIs have a documented and consistent concentration of minority adult populations between the ages of 18 and 24. MSIs have the greatest likelihood of achieving success through the MSI CBO grant program because: 1) their student populations are comprised of young adults who are members of racial/ethnic minorities; 2) they have ready access to minority students to provide them with routine HIV/HCV screening, testing, and prevention education and information on substance abuse, HIV and HCV; 3) they have an established infrastructure for addressing SA, HIV/AIDS and HCV prevention that can be sustained as part of the community fabric; and 4) SAMHSA has shown success in using the MSI model to address SA, HIV and HCV prevention at the community level. Consistent with the intent of the MAI initiative, MSIs also have experience in working collaboratively with minority community-based organizations (MCBOs) in surrounding communities to achieve SA, HIV/AIDS and HCV prevention goals.
